I've read a load of treads saying it's a 15 min plug and play, while others mention removing the bumper, going through the wheel well, jacking up the car...etc..

Which is it, easy or hard? Anyone have a DIY for fog lights only. There does not seem to be any thread that address the issue clearly about the install process. Any ANY ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I read up on this cause I was looking into how it worked myself. All you do is take the stock plug from the fog light and that basically plugs into a cable from the ballast. The Ballast has another cable that the bulb itself plugs in. Basically you put the whole setup inline. They said its super easy and basically its plug and play. The fog are 9006 which you already know. Hope this helps. I'll try and find a DIY link. I'm sure a few people who have done it can chime in. The only issue is where do you put the ballast. I was told to put in the front corner of the front bumper and zip tie it down. Hope this helps.

I guess that was my biggest concern... where to mount the ballast? Would I need to remove the bumper and such. I guess I can stretch my hand around beneath the car... who knows. a link to a DIY would be priceless. Thank you greatly for the help.

I think I have everything hooked up correctly, although the directions dont show how to install it thoroughly.

I have the whole ballast-fog housing connected... now I need to connect it to my car. The black/red wires from the fog housing need to get connected to the brown/brown-yellow wires on the car side.... which to which???????????!!!!!????
